Random Irritations

This one is truly unreal. Our head greenkeeper had a problem with one of the fairway watering sprinklers. He digs out a hole around the offending head about three feet deep and goes off for 10 minutes for a break and to get some other equipment. He comes back and there are two Coke cans and two beer bottles in the hole because some idiot members cannot be bothered to take their rubbish in their bags. Unfortunately we could not identify who it was but we had a pretty good guess.

...and the culprits would claim that the hole was dangerous left unattended - and if they had been walking around with their eyes closed or looking at a device they could have fallen into it - so they chucked their rubbish into the hole just to make the point that they'd spotted the big empty hole :rolleyes: You know the nonsense some folks can come up with to justify their suspect or unacceptable behaviour...:unsure:
 
The absolute cock womble that thought it was as funny to swerve toward me on a country lane all the while laughing when I was out for a run a little while ago. On my route back he was coming out of our local Co Op, he wasn't so amused when I saw him and he couldn't get in his van fast enough. Sometimes I really hate people.

Mad isn’t it.
I got accidentally forced off my bike today in the lanes.
The car failed to pull into the gap squeezing me into the hedgerows and my handlebars got caught in the foliage and down I went.
Dug two holes in my right hand grazed my left shoulder and down my back and a gouge in my leg.
Thought I dislocated my shoulder too but it’s just sore.
Obviously accidents happen but it was avoidable.
 
So I am having a chip and putt, prior to playing. As is my oppo. Two guys have just teed off, and we are into an 8 minute count down.

Cue a young lady, walks straight past the club house, the putting green, me, the starter, straight across the first tee, and sets off up the middle of the fairway.

Um, excuse me Miss, but this is a golf course, and it's private property, you can't walk here.

Is it?

Well flipping heck, what the .... did you think it was?

As captain can you not have a quiet "unofficial" word. I doubt it'll make any difference and they'll chuck litter at the weekend or next time they're out regardless but at least if they know you know they might try and put it somewhere less obvious and not such an eyesore on the course

Its made worse by fact ot wasn't a tight lane but one wide enough for 2 cars easily and fact he thought it funny, guess he didn't expect to see me so soon after he wasn't laughing when I saw him. Just glad my wife took a slightly different route on her run so she wasn't in danger
 
While any death is sad, there were pleas all weekend not to travel to Cornwall. People did. There were big notices at all the beaches saying there were no lifeguards on duty, there were hazardous currents and do not enter the sea. People still did and got into trouble https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-52805583

Now I am sorry people lost their lives but why are the RNLI getting flak for people ignoring clear and obvious advice

Because a proportion of the general public are either, or all of, - daft, ignorant, of the "won't happen to me", "not my fault", "it's my rights" culture.

And that is what politicians are having to consider when making decisions that the majority can understand and follow.

Did he happen to mention he was a member of a golf forum having the same rant :ROFLMAO:

???
He did mention he voted against Brexit and for lib dem in the last election.
I know Rulefan got shot down for suggesting the Dom Cum hatred is somehow linked to Brexit but I think there is a hint of truth in there.
He became a figure of hate after it was reported he'd masterminded the Leave vote, and then to be associated with BJ in the current government makes it even worse for a portion of people.
Anyway, I've already said too much ?

That's awful, I have been literally gagging to go swimming, a mate has been pushing me to come and do some wild river swimming. I have always said no, I don't want to be 'that guy' that gets into trouble and needs rescuing (or worse). I finally got my first swim this morning!! At a proper swimming lake, with pre-booked social distanced limited numbers, but also lifeguards on kayaks.

It was great and well worth waiting for!!

Just found out that our client is ditching us and giving the contract to someone else, so after the end of this week I have no project to work on. They've said there are places within the business for us, by God knows where. I guess it means starting on a new project when I'm working at home and can't actually meet anyone. Will be strange. :confused:

...and yet we asked the same public to understand and make a decision on what was the most important and complex of economic matters impacting the UK - and the politicians told us that they had to do what the public decided it wanted to do - ah well - funny old world ;)
